Tours in York: Wolfgang Chocolate Factory Tour

York, PA is the factory tour capital of the world.  Carrying that title means there are no shortages to tours in York.  Many of these tours are family-friendly, free and fun and those are the ones you will find here!  In addition to being family-friendly, these tours would work well for home schooling groups, scout troops and other groups.

Today we will be looking at Wolfgang Candy Company, located at 50 East 4th Avenue
York, PA 17404.  
Wolfgang requires reservations for all tours, and you can register here.  The Wolfgang Chocolate Tour includes a visit to the museum where you can see the history of chocolate-making, antiques, a video of the Wolfgang candy-making process and a visit to Das Sweeten Haus- the candy store.
